Varsity Boys Baseball: The Wolfpack lost to St. Pauls 6-3 last night. The Bulldogs showed up ready to play after losing 8-3 on Tuesday to the Wolfpack in St. Pauls. Ashton Hammonds was on the mound for Whiteville and had a little trouble with control but was able to pitch himself out of trouble most the time, even leaving the bases loaded for St. Pauls. Kyler Dowless came in for relief, and had a nasty pick off at first base, to end another Bulldogs threat with runners in scoring position. Cody Etheridge came in to close the game on the mound for the Wolfpack and threw very good, his fastball was finding the strike zone and popping the catcher’s mitt. Kyler Dowless, Grayson Bell, and JT Todd each had RBI singles accounting for the Wolfpack runs. Whiteville is on the road Tuesday at East Bladen; the first pitch is scheduled for 6:30pm.
